Some 5.0wners like to proudly display their engine name on their trucks. Has anyone considered having cyclone badges made for the 3.5L? Not the word, I think it's been used for official naming on a GM motor. An image, like this poor quality drawing I threw up in paint:
Looks nice. Most people won't understand what it means . You can buy decals and chrome Cyclone badges from E-Bay, Amazon and performance websites. I have a 3.5 (n/a) in our 2014 Edge and a 3.7 (n/a) in my 2011 Mustang. Not much love for the v6 in the Mustang world even though my Mustang runs low 13's in the quarter mile . A lot of people still believe if you don't have a v8, you don't have an engine . From what I've been reading on this Forum, it's pretty much the same feeling in the Truck world .
Anything I put on my vehicles is there for what it means to me, so if no one ever asks, no problem. All of the badges I found with a graphic were either stickers, or looked like junk.
Was just thinking, Nautical flags would work, if we could get an in-motion design on metal with baked enamel. Carolina's design is my thought process, without the stick, of course:
Looking for something that will closely match oem. Acrylic is too shiny. Not bad when replacing the oval Ford emblems, but in other places, I don't care for the look.
I have seen some OEM looking 3.7 Badges on some of the Mustangs, I like the naked look on mine Mustang but if I ever do the EcoBoost Turbos on it I was thinking about a Twin Turbo Cyclone decal for the side of my hood scoop.
Just was deciding on which one to use, I was leaning toward the 2nd one and in all black.
Since a Cyclone is just a Hurricane in the South Pacific and Indian Ocean I would think anything that would be a Hurricane Warning whether the Symbol or the Flags would work.
